 Do you know who you are? The things that you are good
or bad at? The things that make you happy or sad? If you
can answer these questions, then good, but some people
might find them hard to answer. Knowing one’s own
strengths and weaknesses is synonymous to knowing
oneself.

One cannot say that he doesn’t have any strengths or weaknesses, everybody has
both. Since each individual is unique, one’s strength might be another person’s
weakness, and so on.

As a Senior High School student, it is important to know your strengths and

weaknesses because it will help you in your personal development. Discovering your
true strengths and weaknesses is a fundamental key to your success in all aspects of
life.

This module will serve as a competency based learning material which will guide you
in understanding the target competency:

● reflect own strengths and weaknesses to better know oneself; and
● recognize the importance of knowing one’s strengths and weaknesses as guide

 What is It

Identify Strengths and Weaknesses

“What are your strengths and weaknesses?” While others can easily
answer this question, it may sound tricky to some individuals because
they do not take time to evaluate themselves. But how do we define
strengths and weaknesses?

Strength, according to Cambridge Dictionary, is the “ability to do things

that need a lot of physical or mental effort”. There are things that you
might find easy to do or learn without much effort. It can be skills, innate
talents, behaviors, characteristics, and learned knowledge.

You were able to develop these strengths because you probably spent much time
focusing on these areas or as a result of our observation. Strength, however, is much
more than that. According to Marcus Buckingham and Donald Clifton, authors of Now,
Discover Your Strength, a true strength meets three criteria: (1) you are good or have
the potential to be good at it; (2) you are energized by doing it; and (3) it benefits
something greater than yourself.

Weakness on the other hand is defined in Cambridge Dictionary as “a particular part

or quality of someone or something that is not good or effective”. These are the things
that you found difficult to learn or do. Weaknesses are simply areas of your life where
you have had very limited experience, given very little attention to, or been misguided
in some way. They may include poor learned behavior, limiting beliefs,
underdeveloped characteristics and skills, and inadequate knowledge. There are three
main reasons why we have weaknesses: (1) because of lack of experience; (2)
because we had been misguided in some ways; (3) because of set of limiting beliefs
which lead to less than optimal habits of thinking. Alternatively, your weaknesses can
also stem from a lack of resources, lack of support, or lack of self-discipline.

How Do You Identify Your Own Strength and Weaknesses?

Self-knowledge is a powerful tool that can help you nurture your professional
interactions and stabilize your personal life. While this is something you will have to
figure out mostly on your own, there are exercises you can do to identify your strengths
and weaknesses.

8
1. Understand your abilities

Clarify your core values. These are the beliefs that shape how you think about
yourself, others, and the world around you. Determine whether your life aligns with
your values. Living a life aligned with your values is called “value-congruent” living,
and it can lead to greater feelings of satisfaction and success. Consider whether or
not the environment you live in is conducive to your own strengths and personal
attributes. If they are not, think about how you can either change the situation or
move to an environment within which your personal strengths might be more highly
valued.

2. Perform a reflective best self exercises

This will help you find out what others think about you. You can ask people close to
you to identify your strengths. Interpret and compare them then list down similar
traits that many people mention.

3. List your actions

You can do this by writing in a journal. Think of challenging experiences you had
and write down your spontaneous reaction to the situation. You can also consider
times you faced a difficult personal situation.

4. List your desires

Your desires or longings say a lot about you even if you spend time denying it. Write
down the things you enjoy. Consider the things that motivates you.

5. Assess your strengths and weaknesses

Think of your weaknesses as areas for growth and development. There are some
weaknesses that can be improved through constant practice and focus but there
are apparent weaknesses that indicate that a certain activity is not just for you.
Focus on your strengths and try to cultivate these whenever possible.

Notes to the Teacher

The brief discussion above provided enough
information for the learners to do the activities on the
succeeding pages. Such activities are designed for
individual preparation and lesser teacher intervention.

weaknesses is that it can help you achieve your aspirations in life.

control.

well as your strengths that can help you in your journey in achieving your goal and
also your weaknesses that may impede along the way.
